Trigonometric functions on the unit circle

Calculus
Geometry
Visualize the trigonometric functions since, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant , and cosecant. A movable point on the unit circle defines the angle $\varphi$. Then, the values $\sin\varphi$ (sine), $\cos\varphi$ (cosine), $\tan\varphi$ (tangent), $\cot\varphi$ (cotangent), $\sec\varphi$ (secant), and $\csc\varphi$ (cosecant) - depending on the angle $\varphi$ - are visualized as the length of the marked segments.
